So I originally researched coffee pots came across the cafe’ specialty grind brew put it on my wish list. I had no idea they had matching appliances. My current stainless steel Cuisnart toaster was OK and I had it for years so I bit the bullet and purchased this one. I am so glad I did. First off … it is WELL made. It’s thick it’s heavy and it’s stunning. It even shows you which way to put that bagel of yours. The dial moves smoothly and lights up when on. It has nice wide slots for those thick brioche or Italian breads. There is nothing bad I can say about this toaster. Is it pricey… yes. When you become an adult don’t you get excited about that new household item purchase YES. Look at your toaster… is it just OK Like my Cuisnart was YES. Just buy it and thank me later when you’re toasting your toasty bagel in your fancy toaster. PS - like my review because maybe Cafe’ will promo me my dream grind and brew coffee pot to match so I can review that bad boy too! ). Michelle. Meriden, CT. Sun Jan 07 2024
